    The problem with sabermetrics is no matter how smart the people who do the actual theory and analysis are it still gets passed in the end to the baseball execs and the broadcasters who are either ex-jocks, hairdos, or businessmen. A dog is still only going to use a Rembrandt to pee on. It's all they are equipped to do. That's no reflection on the Rembrandt.

      Never too late. I'm cool with it.

        Can't even imagine what was doing through Kikuchi's head at the moment. Clearly he's emotional, but it's as close as you can get to a real life Field of Dreams moment.

              I’m not crying, you’re crying.

              When I lived in Seattle, I remember going to a game at Safeco and seeing that the grounds crew was always replacing a strip of sod in right field because Ichiro was always stretching between pitches.

                Red Sox extend Chris Sale for 5 yrs/$145mil. Astros extend Verlander 2yrs/$66mil.

                  Why would Verlander agree to that?

                        This extension takes him through 2021. He'll be 38. I'm not sure he's interested in pitching past that. Assuming he stays healthy, he'll be in the neighborhood of 250 wins and 3,300+ strikeouts. At that point he can sit back and wait for the call from Cooperstown.

                          Ryan Braun stays home after forgetting passport for Montreal games.

                          Unless he's really dying to play at Olympic Stadium, this seems like a great "Aw shucks, I swear I put it in my bag!" and a couple days vacation before the season starts.

                            There's a lot to do in Montreal, especially if you're an athlete and have had your shots.
